Absolutely beautiful vineyard! I loved our tour guide Reza! He was personable, informative, and very knowledgable about wines! Would/ will definitely go back to enjoy the grounds!

Loved the story about the vineyard owner, Iris!

Our guide, Reza, was fabulous. Even though we started our tour late, he took the time to explain the wine making process and didn't rush us. We also met the owner, Iris.

The winery is adorable and the grounds are very relaxing. And the wine is good too!

The very informative tour by Norma. We've been on many tours before... This was the best. Lots of history at this winery.

The wines were all very good. Really enjoyed the Creole pizza we purchased after. Absolutely delicious and not very spicy at all. We visited this winery several years before but only did tasting. Decided to purchase this voucher as we had really liked the wines.

The place was so charming and inviting. My sisters and I had a great time! The location was beautiful, it reminded us of our parent's Ranch and house where we grew up in Mexico.

Norma the tour facilitator was great! My gorup really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot from her. I'm excited to hopefully attend the Mardi Gras jazz party next year.
